Lucky is Who Performs Worship

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.

We heard a beautiful Hadith Sharif of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam the other day. The best and most accepted of all worship is when you perform the Friday morning prayer in Jama’ah. Shukr to Allah ﷻ, every Friday is a holiday. And the gift of the holiday is the morning prayer. The morning prayer performed in Jama’ah has a very big reward in the sight of Allah ﷻ. It is very much accepted. It is a worship with great virtue.

Worship is a favor given to us by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Whoever is successful in performing it is a lucky person. Rather than those who have a lot of money; having a lot of money and being on the right way is also good. But the person who knows Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, honors Allah ﷻ and does what He ﷻ says is the lucky one. Otherwise, the most unlucky person is who has everything in this world but has no obedience to Allah ﷻ, no worship and doesn’t recognize Him ﷻ. He is truly the most unfortunate person. Therefore, lucky is the person who performs worship. Allah ﷻ has given him a big favor and shown him generosity so that he walks on His ﷻ way.

This world has no value at all. It has no worth. Unless you are on the way of Allah ﷻ, it is not luck but bad luck. People who are on the way of Allah ﷻ are lucky ones. Even if they are poor and have nothing, as long as they are on the way of Allah ﷻ, how lucky are they! How lucky are those who are on the way of Allah ﷻ! There is no happiness in other things. Whomever you follow, unless you are on the way of Allah ﷻ, you are not happy. You will not have goodness neither here nor hereafter.

There are still opportunities to turn to the right way in this world. There is a chance to turn to the way of Allah ﷻ. However, when you close your eyes, you will miss that chance. May Allah ﷻ protect all of us. May He ﷻ keep us steadfast on His ﷻ right path insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ not let us go astray. There are many of those who are going astray. May Allah ﷻ protect us. There are many of those who obey their egos and go astray. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May we be on the right way insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are lots of Khatms made for the occasion of the Urs of Hajjah Anne. May Allah ﷻ be pleased with our brothers, they’ve made thousands of Khatms from all over the world. They recited Salawat, Tasbihat, Yasin, Surahs. We gift all of these Surahs, Ayat, Khatms, Tasbihat, Salawat firstly to our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, souls of our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Hajjah Anne, souls of our late relatives. For goodness to come and evil to be gone. We gift them to souls of all Muslims and Mumins. May they reach them. May there be Shifa’ (cure), light and Iman, strength and happiness here and hereafter.

Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatiha.
